Glad you enjoy them, and thanks for the pics, but I have absolutely zero interest in this entire concept. I feel like there's already enough cartoony/kids-oriented WWE lines that Mattel does, and I don't buy any of them. The Hogan scan looks good and intrigues me, but that's it. How easy is it to swap these heads on actual Elite figures?

I will get Hogan and bray. How much are these? This set reminds me of the stomp figures back in the bca line.

Obviously mattels attempt to copy the whopping success of mashers over at hasbro....and their right to apply it to wrestlers!!

I vaguely saw these this morning at Target. They had them but seeing they were on the bottom shelf I didn't look at them.

Thanks for posting. Can you use the heads for regular figures? Hey Micro, would you be willing to do a quick head swap pic of Hogan onto the DM? If not it's okay if you don't feel comfortable swapping parts. Thankfully it looks like The skin tone is pretty darn close I'm just wondering if the heads could be swapped onto regular figures. I like the look of that Hogan head and worry that they won't ever reuse it. That happened with those Ryback, Big Show, and Brock Lesnar strikers headsculpts that were never used on figures again since. Glad you enjoy them, and thanks for the pics, but I have absolutely zero interest in this entire concept. I feel like there's already enough cartoony/kids-oriented WWE lines that Mattel does, and I don't buy any of them. The Hogan scan looks good and intrigues me, but that's it. How easy is it to swap these heads on actual Elite figures? I didn't even consider doing headswaps with Basics and Elites until after I posted the review, heheh! Don't worry, though, I just took some new reference pics! For these examples, I'm going to use DM Hulk Hogan for an Elite and a Basic John Cena. After a quick boil-and-pop, I discovered that the peg holes in the heads are a little different. Interestingly, I found out that DM Hogan has the same head type as the CAWS, not the standard Elites. I believe the FlexForce/Super Strikers had the same type of peg holes. Fortunately, it's still easy to swap the heads on these figures. It looks like the CAWS heads may end up with slight no-neck-syndrome on the Basic/Elite bodies depending on the torso. Also, the regular heads may have a bit of giraffe-neck on the CAWS bodies. Here's a look at Cena and Hogan with their heads swapped... Overall, it's nice that you can swap nearly any head around. For those who have their own feds, it's a nice way to create your own unique guys, like The Patriot Pat Palumbo here! (I dunno, I just made that up, heheh!) I'd be interested in seeing caw hogan head on the various other hogan bodies. I still have my two Basic Hogans MOC but they'll be opened up soon to join my DM Hogan. I'll try to take a few more pics tonight! I will get Hogan and bray. How much are these? This set reminds me of the stomp figures back in the bca line. These sets were around $12.99 each at Target, only a little more than the price of a Basic figure. I hope this helps!

Caw hogan head looks very good in the dm body. Not trying to be a pain but can you take pics with shirt and necklace on.

Awesome! The Hogan head looks perfect on the DM body. Much better than the original head, imo

I really like this hogan head because the hair just looks better than the awkward strands on the dm head. I think it would be good for a thunder lips fig. I'd love to see it in the hof body with the bandana on it.

These are great for customizing crowds for a ring setup.

No worries, here's a quick shot of DM Hogan and all his gear with the CAWS head...You can even put the bandana on him too: I also opened my Basic WM2 Heritage Hogan and tried out the CAWS head on him... Awesome! The Hogan head looks perfect on the DM body. Much better than the original head, imo Yeah, this CAWS head is a great, neutral scan and the more slicked back hair reminds me of how he would look during a match!

I'd love to see it in the hof body with the bandana on it. A Mattel Thunderlips would be cool! I wish I could try it out on the new HOF body but sadly, my area still hasn't gotten Series 2 yet! Well, I hope this helps!

I wonder if the bandana will fit.
